ANCA, a global leader in CNC tool and cutter grinding technology, celebrates its 50th anniversary with the launch of ToolRoom RN35, the latest version of its cutting-edge software. Designed to transform productivity and tool performance, the RN35 release delivers innovative features that enable manufacturers to reduce cycle times by up to 20% while maintaining exceptional surface finishes and tool quality.

Key Features of ToolRoom RN35

  1. Enhanced Productivity and Reduced Cycle Time
    With advanced functions, RN35 optimizes feed rates, reduces air-time, and extends wheel life. These features result in up to a 20% cycle time reduction, allowing manufacturers to significantly boost efficiency.
  2. Material Removal Rate (MRR) Calculations
    The integration of MRR calculations automates parameter setting for consistent material removal rates, ensuring precise tool geometry and enhanced production accuracy.
  3. Statistical Process Control (SPC)
    The addition of SPC software allows for statistical analysis of manufactured parts, streamlining processes, minimizing waste, and ensuring consistent quality.
  4. Profile Fluting Enhancements
    This update refines ANCA’s proprietary flute-from-solid feature, providing even greater flexibility for complex tool designs.
  5. Superior Surface Finishes
    By optimizing grinding paths and parameters, RN35 ensures excellent surface finishes, reducing secondary operations and increasing the value of finished tools.

Thomson Mathew, Software Product Manager at ANCA, highlights the focus of RN35:
“With RN35, we aim to elevate user experience, enhance performance, and reduce cycle times—all without compromising on tool quality. Our comprehensive, in-house manufacturing approach enables us to design software that aligns perfectly with the entire machine system.”

Since its establishment in 1974, ANCA has been at the forefront of cutting tool technology. Milestones include the introduction of the System 32 CNC software in 1991 and the CIM3D simulation software in 1998, which revolutionized tool grinding with true 3D simulation. Today, RN35 builds on this legacy, ensuring manufacturers can meet evolving demands with innovative, efficient, and user-friendly solutions.

ANCA invites industry professionals to experience a live demonstration of ToolRoom RN35. Speak to your local ANCA representative to learn how this new release can enhance your operations and revolutionize your manufacturing efficiency.
